The Cake House is a lovely house; modern, yet very comfortable and homely. It has all the facilities that are needed with a much welcomed Welcome Pack ready for our arrival!! It is in a very quiet area just on the edge of Malton but with straightforward access into the town centre. The owner was very friendly and helpful when we spoke and the key pick up and drop off arrangements were very smooth. The Cake House was perfect for a week for our family and we enjoyed every minute of our stay. I would definitely recommend it and, if we return to Malton in the future (which I very much hope we will do!) we would hope to be able to stay at The Cake House.

The owner was a pleasure to deal with, and was so very helpful with any questions we had. The location is perfect and the house is so welcoming and cosy too. I couldn't find any fault with staying here and wouldn't hesitate to book again!

“Lovely house to spend a week sightseeing”

We arrived after a long trip up from Cornwall via Heathrow to pick up an Australian relative. We were greeted by tea and Yorkshire Brack and milk in fridge which was very welcome indeed. The Cake house is within 15-20 minutes walking distance from the the town of Malton with all it's amenities. The house it self was immaculate and spotlessly clean. Absolutely anything you could need was there. We really could not fault it. It was very well placed for touring. Castle Howard was 5 miles away, we went on the North Yorkshire Railway, steam hauled train to Goathland (Aidensfield in Heartbeat) and did a lovely round walk to Mallyan Spout and Beckhole and back to Goathland Station (Hogsmeade Station in the Harry Potter film). York was only 16 miles away and of course all the lovely villages and tea rooms of North Yorkshire. The cottage itself is on a new estate but do not let that put you off. It is lovely and Carolyn the owners mum is very friendly and helpful. Would definitely book again if holidaying in the area.

It was a truly amazing 2 weeks for our family. Fab location and loads to do locally. Facilities in the property were fab and so was the range or shops in the town. Would love to go back.

The Cake House has everything you could need and more. Lovely cake and tea on arrival. The house is very well equipped and really is a home from home. The view from the master bedroom is amazing. The Cake House is just a 10-15 minute walk into Malton so ideally placed.

This was a real home from home and everything had been thought of down to a welcome tray when we arrived. The house is beautifully furnished and very handy for our favourite places in North Yorkshire. Would definitely be happy to return or recommend the property.

“On arrival we were met by Carolyn ...”

On arrival we were met by Carolyn who was extremely helpful in showing us the property. The property was immaculate and was the perfect base for myself and my family (including 3 children aged 13, 11 and 8). There was a wide range of information about local services and tourist attractions available and the inclusion of wifi enabled us to research and make plans for the next day each evening. Although the property was on a brand new development it was a very quiet and peaceful location and has great views of the surrounding countryside from the master bedroom.

“The Cake House was a real home from ...”

The Cake House was a real home from home. We received a lovely welcome & the tea & brack were a real treat after a long journey. The house is like a show home & has everything you could need! The owner(& Mum)is lovely & couldn't be more helpful!! Malton is a good base to explore yorkshire. York, Whitby, Scarborough are easy day trips & Eden Camp is just along the road. There is an enclosed large area of grass to the front of the house where kids can play safely - great if parents need a bit of peace! Fab stay in a fab place! I would highly recomnend to anyone.

About the location

MALTON

York 18 miles; Scarborough 24 miles.

The market town of Malton has been the historic centre of Ryedale since Roman times, and has many interesting buildings including the old Corn Exchange and Assembly Rooms. A weekly general market is still held in the town, as well as livestock and farmers’ markets. The Yorkshire Moors are to the north, and the Yorkshire Wolds are to the south, making it excellent countryside for walkers and cyclists. The impressive coastline is just 24 miles away, whilst the historic city of York is an 18 mile journey. A perfect base for touring the attractions of North Yorkshire.
